When you launch Alias for the very first time, you are prompted to create a user_data folder. This folder is created in My Documents\Autodesk\Alias (Windows) or Documents/Autodesk/Alias (Mac).
The user_data folder contains your project folders, required by Alias. By default, Alias creates a project called Demo for you to use. A project contains many folders, the most important ones being the wire folder (where your actual file is saved) and the pix folder (the default location where images are saved).
